LONDON (AP) – Five versions of a Vincent van Gogh masterpiece are being reunited for the first time Monday in a “virtual exhibition.”
Van Gogh painted his “Sunflowers” series in the south of France in 1888 and 1889. Five versions of the work reside in five different museums on three continents.
On Monday, they all will be streamed to a global audience in a Facebook Live broadcast.
The 1 hour and 35 minute broadcast begins in London’s National Gallery at 1650GMT (12:50 p.m. EDT.) It then continues at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Tokyo’s Seiji Togo Memorial Museum of Art.
A curator from each museum will describe, in 15-minute segments, what makes their version unique.
